The Pirelli's were designed for 4wd mild offroad. They are a little noisy and a little scary in rain. I am a Michelin and Bridgestone guy. I pay attention to the traction and temperature ratings. Always AA. I will be buying street tires for my all hat and no cattle truck.

I use 4D Tech as well. Easy to install. I installed some Ram products for my phone and Ipad at the same time.

Try to outdo this one. I had a Cherry Bomb on my 1928 Dodge Senior Six with an inline 6. That Dodge was so noisy I never heard the Cherry Bomb at speed. Which was no more than 45/50 mph. It would have gone faster (maybe 60 mph) if I would have replaced the king pins. Didn't know about that...

You know, a pair of Cherry Bombs can do the same thing.

I'm a big believer in built transmissions, but have no Ford experience on this subject. I have to think there are distinct power limits on each model, but the aftermarket, assuming you can find someone that can really, no, I mean really, really build a transmission, you may never know. Good...

Enkei 9 1/2" x 20 wheels on my 2014. Totaled the truck and still have a brand new one. I have learned in my old age to order 5 wheels. Wheel companies discontinue wheels when they find out I bought a set.

I like 70's versus 75's. I put 55's on my 2014 and they did great. They were all season tires and did a great job shedding water in the rain. Pirelli Scorpions.

Are you using stock aluminum wheels?

I hope Ford and BlueCruise can make it. Self Centering nearly did me in a few weeks ago. Not that I was not paying attention and not that I did not catch and correct it. But I was gone if I had not. It's like EV's. They are still trying to learn to build it.

You need a new Ford dealer.

I run Michelin and Bridgestone Street Tires. I look for AA ratings. I am concerned with quiet ride and handling. My 21 is an all hat and no cattle truck.

I like wider for safety purposes. You need to watch the height of the tire to try and maintain speedometer accuracy. There are sites online that will help you breakdown the specs on your current tires and what sizes and aspects the new tires new tires might cause. Heights should be very close.

You should take them the specs that you want. I have a 2023 GMC Yukon XL and a 2018Corvette Z06. Both have specs in the owner manuals. The Z06 also has a racing alignment. The Ford specs shouid be easily available on this thread. Now, if you have messed with the suspension................

I have heard for 40 years that drilled rotors, regardless of whether they are accompanied by slots or not, can crack around the drill site. Here's a reference for someone who thinks the same way. You will likely need to copy and paste...

I say there are no problems if the truck is making more fuel while you are sleeping.

That is a good question. I don't know how that could happen except in instances of extreme overfill. Even then I'm not sure how the truck would still be running in that case, but I am an expert in my own mind. There are others in this thread that will agree with me.

Did you ever come up with that commercial?

I respectfully suggest that putting 8 quarts in a 7.7 fill will not kill the motor. Ford engineers surely did like GM and left a little room for error. Without question It is not a good habit to overfill, but it is not difficult to avoid that. Without question one should expect the car wash...

It's all about labor costs and product costs. The dealer wants you in there to spot problems to make some real money. They have to pay someone to do it. And it damn sure isn't a tech. They may have a tech inspect it while it is in the air, but that is the purpose of cheap oil changes. Many...

One other thing while you are back there, make sure you watch them clean up their mess. Ford's brilliant idea of changing oil for the last 30+ years is an absolute joke.
